3x + 2y = 7 x - 4y = - 21
6x + 4y = 14 x - 4y = - 21
6x + x = 14 - 21 7x = - 7 x = - 7 /7 x = - 1
y = (7 - 3x)/2 y = (7 - 3 x (- 1))/2 y = (7 - (- 3))/2 y = (7 + 3)/2 y = 10/2 y = 5
Ans : x = - 1 ** y = 5**

To solve the system of equations using substitution, we first express one variable in terms of another and substitute it into the other equation. After solving the equations step-by-step, we find the solution to be ( x , y ) = ( − 1 , 5 ) . This method efficiently provides us with the values of both variables.
